Review of Golf Training Aids: Can They Really Help Lower Your Scores?
Introduction
The market for golf training aids is vast and ever-growing. With options available for nearly every aspect of the game, it can be overwhelming to decide which one might benefit you. While these aids won't instantly slash your handicap or substitute for valuable golf tips, consistent practice with them can significantly enhance your game.
Here are five popular training aids that golfers often inquire about during lessons. These tools aim to refine your swing or correct specific issues, helping you embed the right techniques. It's crucial to choose the right aid for your needs before making a purchase.

Amazing Assist Swing Trainer
The Amazing ASSIST from Gibas & Matzie Golf Products is designed to enhance your swing and build strength. Featuring a weighted head and bent shaft, it helps teach the correct hand action. This tool aids in muscle memory, extension, weight transfer, and overall tempo and timing.
As you swing, it exaggerates the proper release, eliminating slicing, increasing clubhead speed, and ensuring straighter shots. The training grip aligns your hands in the traditional 11 and 12 o'clock positions. Suitable for use at home, on the range, or before lessons, it's available for men, women, and juniors, for both right and left-handed golfers. An instructional video is included. Price: $70.
The Elbow Tac-Tic
Maintaining a straight left elbow (for right-handers) is key to maximizing swing arc and power. The Elbow Tac-Tic sleeve provides instant feedback by clicking if the elbow bends incorrectly. It works similarly on the right arm, clicking at the right point during the backswing. This aid helps reinforce the correct form. Price: $39.95.
The Speed Stik
Clubhead speed is crucial for distance, and the Speed Stik is designed to enhance this along with proper balance and swing plane. By swinging it back and forth, starting slow and building speed, you can track your MPH on a speed gauge. Each 1 MPH increase translates to three more yards. Regular use can lead to measurable improvements. Price: $99.99.
The Impact Ball
The Impact Ball, offered by To-M-Pact Golf, Inc., helps golfers develop the feel of proper ball striking. It promotes elimination of swing faults like "chicken wings" or "flying elbows" by being placed between the forearms. The goal is to change the ball’s colors as you swing, teaching you to maintain a square clubface through impact.
It addresses all aspects of the game?"chipping, pitching, putting, driving, and bunker play. You can practice with it on the range or at home. Price: $39.95 plus shipping and handling.
The Swing Magic Driver
Kallassy’s Swing Magic Driver focuses on ingraining the proper swing motion, improving timing, tempo, and rhythm. It synchronizes body movements by allowing your right hand to separate during the backswing and reconnect on the downswing, promoting an on-plane swing necessary for consistent ball striking. This prevents coming over the top. Price: $89.95.
Conclusion
As emphasized in my golf tips, a training aid is not a miracle solution. It won't drastically change your game overnight, compensate for poor course management, or replace personalized golf lessons. However, if used consistently, it can instill the fundamentals of a good swing, shave strokes off your score, and lower your handicap. Be sure to select the right training aid for your unique needs before buying.
